Voile de la Mariée
Cascade du Voile de la Mariée
A waterfall about 70 metres high near Kindia. The water falls like a white veil, and the surrounding bamboo groves and mountain scenery make it a weekend getaway for people from the capital.
The Bridal Veil Falls lie on the outskirts of Kindia, about 135 km by road northeast of Conakry. Water spreads out and falls from a rock face about 70 metres high, resembling a bride's veil. Below the falls are a pool and a bamboo grove trail, with simple thatched huts and a small kiosk. Guineans often hire a car for the round trip on weekends (about 3 hours one way on rough roads). You can make a detour to see the 'Smoking Dog' mountain in Dubréka. There is a small entrance fee. The roads turn muddy in the rainy season, and the water level drops in the late dry season, so the best time to visit is between September and December.
